Skull and Crossbones Stories: Dave Burgess and the Odyssey of Teaching

On this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with a man who has had a tremendous impact on my teaching philosophies and practices: Dave Burgess. Dave Burgess has been making a huge impact in the world of education for over 10 years. His book Teach Like a Pirate (a New York Times Best Seller) has influenced educators all around the world, myself included. On this episode, Dave and I talked about what it means to be an excellent teacher, the dangers of sticking to one style, and how to find use in ordinary things that can enrich the learning in our classrooms. This and more on my conversation with Dave Burgess.
